I would really like if you could help me with this problem. We have to turn 34/42 into a decimal then into a percent. I tried to multiply 42(the denominator) till i got 100, but 42 doesn't go into 100 so i tried multiplying till i got a number that can go into 200 300 400... but 42 doesn't go into those numbers either. Can you help? thanks for reading this -S  </SPAN>\n" );
